Ingredients
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice, brown sugar, vegetable oil, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Add the green onions, garlic, and habanero pepper (if using) to the marinade and mix well.
- Place the chicken pieces in a large, resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and discard the marinade.
- Grill the chicken pieces for 25-35 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with Jamaican rice and peas, coleslaw, or your favorite side dishes.
